In the 16th round of the Italian Serie A, there will be a match between Lazio and Inter. The encounter will take place at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Sunday, December 17th, with kickoff at 20:45 Central European Time.
Lazio
Under the guidance of Maurizio Sarri, the team hasn't performed as brightly this season compared to their previous second-place finish in Serie A, just behind Napoli. After 15 rounds, 'the Eagles' find themselves in the middle of the league table, occupying the 10th position. Lazio has managed only six victories and scored a total of 16 goals. Interestingly, Lazio, like Inter, has qualified for the UEFA Champions League playoffs, securing second place in their group.
Inter
The match against Lazio will be significant for Inter's coach, Simone Inzaghi. Inzaghi spent a lion's share of his career playing for Lazio, where he hung up his boots. After retiring, Simone spent 11 years in the club's structure, coaching the first team for five years before taking charge of Inter. Under his management, the Milanese team is the leading contender for the Scudetto and currently tops the Serie A table.
Interesting facts and head-to-head history
- Lazio hasn't conceded a goal in six consecutive home matches.
- Inter is on an unbeaten streak of 14 matches.
- Lazio hasn't lost to Inter at their home ground for five consecutive years.
Prediction
Inter appears to be the clear favorite in this game, and I doubt if 'the Eagles' have the strength to stop Simone Inzaghi's team. My bet is on the away win.
